ABOUT ME
Hello!
I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember. As I child I am fairly certain that I lived full time in my imagination and when I got to school, I spent all of my free time daydreaming and writing stories in a 5 subject ruled notebook.
Eventually, I needed to get a “real” job, but storytelling has never stopped being a passion of mine. I wrote in my free time and eventually finished a project I was interested in publishing. Except the publishing industry is a mess. Even Indie publishing has problems. If you want to get in front of people, you have to sell your soul to Amazon / Kindle.
So, I decided to try something different.
I decided to take my slow winter season and develop my story into a visual novel. I’ll be posting on Tiktok (as long as it still exists) and Youtube, but I’ll be posting extras…and some NSFW spicy scenes/art over on Patreon.
If you like Game of Thrones, Shadow and Bone, and From Blood and Ash…then chances are good you’ll like Kingdom of Lies.

Princess Ara Palacios of Naporia has spent years preparing to become a Treenar wife, believing this to be the only way to prevent an impending war. But outside the castle walls, she's just a kitchen maid to Ishmo Lyf, a common boy she's grown to love. Fearing the potential conscription of Ishmo into a war that men rarely survive, she offers him her heart in the secrecy of the woods, hoping to experience a stolen taste of true love before being shackled in a political marriage.
But destiny has other plans. On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Ara is named her father's heir believing she has inherited her mother's terrifying magic--a power Ara has yet to discover.
As Ara and Ishmo's fates intertwine, they find themselves on a collision course with love, duty, and the looming war. Ara's newfound magic could be the key to salvation or the catalyst to their downfall. Can they navigate their forbidden love and the trials of the kingdom, or will their passion set the world ablaze? In this enthralling tale of love and power, every choice could be the difference between peace and ruin.
